ANSWERS

W.

New York. Oct. 1. Replying to President F. D. Roose- velt's Syracuse speech. Mr. Randolph Hearst to-day editorially reiterated his charges that the chief cxccutive receives Communist sup- port und simultaneously attacked the Administration's' currency agreement with France and Britain.

"Roosevelt anys he is not a Com- munist, but the Communists say he 19 one, and the Communists aught to know. Every cow knows her own calf," Mr. Hearst insisted.

"Štalim holls him; and asks Com- munists to support him.

"What about his Communlat tourage?"

Mr. Hearst viewed the recent cur rency, accord as using of the American Stabilization Fund slabilise the frone, and charged that France was Communist.

"How far is Roosevelt going to ald his fellow Communists? Why should we make sacrifices to aid France? Sho

repudialed her debt to us; in fact, led the repudiationists. She conceived and created repudiation," Mr. Heard charged.

He suld the agreement was a vir- tual loan to France, and violated the Johnson Act-United Press.

MORGENTHAU ANGERED

Washington, Oct. 1. Angered by the latest carst editorial ullack, Mr. Henry Mor- genthau, Sceretary of the Treasury, to-day asserted ut the famous publisher was using "incorrect"

facts,

"We have not lent any money to France," he said.

Mr. Morgenthau subsequently re- vealed that the ank of France, under the accord, had been making franes available in American and British businessmen, enabling them to meel their commitments, make payments In French currency and avold the squeeze caused by the closing of the Paris Bourse, pending the Anal Parliamentary approval of devaluation measures.

Ile said the franes were provided at a nominal price and the transac- tions were not large. This was thr sensible thing do, Mr. Morgenthau declared, and prevented the world's businessmen from getting panicky.

Questioned as to whether American gold would be made available to France and Britain, he would not comment.-United Press.

ROOSEVELT'S

POLICY

Pittsburgh, Oct. 1. President Roosevelt spoke to a gathering of 75,000 people here to day, renewing his pledge to prevent Americand starving, defending the. social security programme and the Government's fiscal policies. He said the balancing of the 1933, 1934 and 1935 Budgets would have been a erime against Americans.

The speech was filled with bas ball metaphors, the President saying. "I am convinced that when Govern- rivent flance, is honest there will be no higher mathemales about it, but Just plain score-beard arithmetic." He said on taking office he found the national income down fifty per cent. "The only way to keep the Govern- ment out of the red," he declared, "is to keep the people out of the red. I had to balance the People's Budget before I could balance the Nationul Budget."

He said he accepted responsibility| "to spend money when nobody had any money left to spend" in order to break the vicious cirely of declining national income.—United Press,

ÁL SMITH'S VIEWS

New York, Oct. 1. Speaking in the Carnegie Hall, Mr. Al. Smith declared: "I firmly believe that the remedy for all the ill we are suffering is the election of Governor Landon." He said one of the New Deal's characteristics was "to heap abuse on anybody who dis- agrees with

Mr. Smith referred to his January speech in Washington, when he took the Democratic platform plank by plank, remarking that "if I was wrong, it was easy for some New Dealer to contradict me." He said, however, that the Administration leaders had merely "all gone high- hat "

Mr. Smith admitted that he owned a high hat, but added, “so has every man who goes to a wedding or a funeral." He mentioned his life up. from the sidewalks of New York until he was a salaried man, adding. "I do not apologise for being in busi- ness; in the last analysis, we mus look to business men for a permanent solution of unemployment. President Roosevelt "whenever he earned a dollar outside la presidential, saláry, earned it as a corporation lawyer.

He said the Administration had not submitted amendments to legalise the ‚ÂÂ., Île N.R.A., or the Guffey Act, due to the fact that it was unwilling to meet the question of State rights. fle concluded by saying he had no personal ill-feeling against the Presi- dent.-United Press.

MARATHON DANGERS

Johannesburg, Oct. 1.

Tragedy marred the London-Johannesburg air race when the Air Speed Envoy, flown by Max Findley. and his wireless operator A. H. Morgan, crushed at Abercorn yesterday, killing both fliers. The crash occurred just as the machine was taking off from Abercorn.

Modestly and casually, Charles Scott, the winner of the £10,000 marathon, told Reuter, the story of his epic flight here to-day.

"Really," he said, "this is just an ordinary job of

work.

"There were no high-spots, no tough spots, not even any very amusing incidents. The weather was perfectly good until Tabora, when it got a bit mucky, and we bumped about a bit. "As we were very tired we decided, to descend and have some well-earn-j. ed sleep at Abercorn, even though wej did not known where the other com- petitors were until we got there. We had no idea where anybody else was. dre jolly glad to be here and that it's all over and are terribly bucked at winning."

His co-pilot, Glies Guthrie, added: "But we are terribly sorry about Halse's bad luck."-Reuter Special.
